A Message from Garcia: Frank Jetty Junior Part 1
Frank Jetty Junior the son of Francois Jetty (1837 – 1926) and Anna Hunka (Full Blood Dakota, Tizaptanna), Sisseton) was born on June 2, 1858, and died on September 23, 1951, at St. Michael, North Dakota. The Grey Nuns wrote down Frank Jetty’s life story. The three of them, Anna, Josephine, an older sister, and Frank survived many battles which are found in every history book detailing the Dakota escape from Minnesota. This is the only first-hand account from the Dakota point of view that I know of. No one can tell it better than Frank himself. What follows is the history as transcribed by the Grey Nuns of St. Michael.

For hunters willing to bundle up and slow down, it can offer some of the most rewarding time afield all year.
